Dancing In Trainers
I've had my Doc Martin shoes for 22 years and they are worn in nicely (to the point where I've had to superglue and sticky tape them together) and have no problem dancing in them. As any dancer will agree once you've broken in your dancing shoes they stay with you until the bitter end.

“How’S It Going?”
I'm looking forward to your new venture Leonardo as at least it will give us all somewhere to gather to moan endlessly about anything really, preferably if its something we've not seen, attended or heard. Good work fella Seriously as a fellow promoter hats off to you because it is bloody hard especially with upfront venues, shall see you for bad dancing on the night

What Are You Spinning At Home ?
Currently one is grooving to the utter bewilderment of his 11 year old daughter to the unissued David (Ruffin) album purchased via the medium of the silver disc. In a word AWESOME! Now excuse me I need to get back to gliding across the kitchen floor.......

Trailer For Northern Soul The Film
well I was thinking we write to the BBC and attempt to have live TV debates during the Scottish referendum televised debates and thus guarantee a wider audience who will have no understanding what the hell is going on, what the arguments are about, try to pick through the disinformation and rabid comments etc....oh and then when the referendum debate lot have finished with all that we discuss the film lol

Trailer For Northern Soul The Film
My kids have made a good point - why are people slagging off a film that they've not seen yet?? Surely they need to see it first to make judgement otherwise its the Emperors new Clothes? Fair point. Lets see the film then everyone is entitled to their opinion based on what they've seen.

Winnie you've got it mate! The answer to ensure that the masses come to see the film!!! You in said Spiderman costume helping the young lad escape the shithole he lives in whilst trying to reveal the real identity of the group under the paper cover cruelly hidden from the masses! I can see it now 'Spiderman vs the Soul Police - this time its personal!'

Trailer For Northern Soul The Film
Slightly easier to badger for us as Elaine was a local for a while and given Taffy was consultant on some of the casino scenes Ian. Plus I'm needing it big screen to see if I can see my wonderful dancing in the shadows of said scenes, given eyes not what they used to be Trot on....

Trailer For Northern Soul The Film
Ive just spoken with the Boroadway Cinema in Letchworth and have emailed them the details of the film etc but who is distributing it? They are happy to screen it if interest is there etc and to keep costs as low as possible but I think it would help if Soulies in the local area emailed to confirm the interest. Email is jason.valentine@letchworth.com

Barbara St Clair?
if you search Facebook Barbara St Clair and the shadows thats her and features live video performing in the 90's (I think). She died of a brain tumour but certainly you should be able to FB the band members as I assume R. Davis is the same one who wrote Teacherman.

"tears Dry On Their Own"
As far as I know it was written by Amy but sampled A&S Anit No Mountain backing track but haven't heard anyone else cover it as yet (should add I take it you mean with a Soul bent as there is one cover thats more left field Jazz)

Gregory Porter - The In Crowd
Thats a memory jerker Sunnysoul! Used to be played in the late 70's/early 80's in the Basment Blues Nites in Hitchin held in peoples basements (obviously) that were sweaty cramped smoke filled fantastic affairs - wall to wall Mods Soulies Skins and fantastic music.
-
Gregory Porter - The In Crowd
Gregory does have a great voice and sense of style (although I favour the early 70s Irish Balaclava and camo jacket look myself) but TIC isn't one of his finer moments IMHO because as many have said its a bit too disjointed to my ears. The voice and backing just don't blend sadly which is a shame because I love Liquid Spirit and most of his other stuff. Different strokes for different folks. And btw I do listen to all forms of Soulful grooves including Jazz (The Kent Mo Mod Jazz series is superb!) but sadly Gregory its a NO from me

Dr Goldfoot And His Bikini Machine
How could you not fail to check out this classic! At 50 secs in we are treated to Winnie passing judgement to A-Ha Flynn on his choice of spin at The Dome! Enjoy
-
Dr Goldfoot And His Bikini Machine
Defo spun by Keb and at the Dome by that A-Ha Soulful God Mr Flynn Winnie, and you and I may well have danced to it because we were younger and frankly dance floor gods! (cough) Pete Smith beat me to it re The Beas as always lol. Listen if something like the Peanut Duck with its lyrics gets spun then we can make room for the Goldfoot surely..no?.....I'll get my coat.........
